Companies transporting waste, such as skip hire companies, are required by law to be licensed carriers of waste. The Environment Agency maintains the register of these companies. Producers of waste have to satisfy the Duty of Care and declare the waste they have produced to the licensed waste carrier they use. This provides a documented process for the transportation, processing and disposal of waste. If you hire a skip you will have to provide this information to the skip company. During local events which are likely to attract large numbers of people, it is necessary to ensure that skips are not on the highway. Skip licences may be refused in the vicinity of these events or the licence period restricted. In considering a skip licence application we will try to identify any predictable restrictions in advance. Useful info: Skips shall not exceed five metres in length by two metres in width Skips must be marked, guarded and lit in accordance with the stipulated licence conditions Skips must not contain explosive, noxious or dangerous materials Skips must not be overloaded Skips must be removed for emptying as soon as they are full No skip can remain on the highway after a licence expiry date (unless that licence is in the process of being renewed) All materials placed in a skip must be properly disposed of by the registered waste carrier The highway where the skip is being stored must be left in a clean and tidy condition after the skip has been removed A skip licence application must be submitted to us at least five working days prior to when the skip is required. A licence application can be cancelled within 24hrs of us receiving it; after this time the fee is non-refundable.
